If you want your coworkers to like you, you could try being a nice guy/gal. Of course, that is difficult.

I'm here to tell you there is an easier way! Buy a candy or gum dispenser (the quirkier the better), put it in your office, and fill it up with Jelly Belly jelly beans. Before you know it, coworkers will be dropping by to "chat" and saying things like, "oh, cool duck-shaped candy machine! Do you really just turn his bow tie to get candy? Oh wow, and they're Jelly Belly! My favorite." The more jelly beans they eat, the nearer you will be to their hearts. Which means you will soon be buying jelly beans in bulk.

That is where this Kirkland jug of jelly beans comes in handy. These are the same Jelly Belly beans you would get at the local candy shop but for a tiny fraction of the price. All of your favorite flavors are included. This mix would be perfect if they would just take out the buttered popcorn beans--those nasty abominations trick me every time. Plus these get shipped to your door so you don't have to feel like a fat slug in the checkout line at Costco with multiple giant jugs of jelly beans.

This is a 5 star item that gives me serious First World Problems. I love Jelly Bellies (who doesnt?) and the Buttered Popcorn and Juicy Pear are literally the stuff that dreams and rainbows are made out of....so I highly recommend this giant jar, even though it's realistically only about a month's worth of jellybeans....BUT........

.....if you want to know how to ruin my day and make me cry real tears into my snack bowl, here's how to do it in 2 easy steps:1. Make me think I'm getting a Red Cherry jellybean (delicious!).....which turns out to be Cinnamon (death!) (FYI: there are TWO different cinnamon flavors in here, and they're visually identical to the cherry jellybeans...)2. Make me think I'm picking up a Root Beer jellybean (delicious!)....which turns out to be Chocolate or Coffee flavored (death!) The Root Beer, Chocolate, and Coffee jellybeans are practically identical....(FYI: I have never met another human being on the planet who thought chocolate jellybeans were a good idea.)

Apart from those soul-crushing risks, these are great jellybeans. And if you're the kind of crazy cowboy who throws caution to the wind and doesn't mind playing russian roulette with the cinnamon jellybeans....you're in luck (and you're insane.)

WHO would think something that spends it days licking and sniffing things that make us humans go "OH GROSS LEAVE THAT ALONE!" would be picky about the jelly beans they get as a "super dog" reward but our two, are very picky about their jelly beans. They will spit out a jelly bean that isn't this brand or Jelly Belly. I have no idea how they know, but they do.

I ordered one of these for myself, then I went back and ordered two more for gifts. The two in the second order were sticky and stuck together and to the sides of the container. I believe there was some moisture inside when they were sealed, but I am not sure. I decided to open and check one of the containers and I discovered that they were indeed sticky. They tasted fine, but it was disappointing, since I bought them as gifts. I didn't feel comfortable in giving them as gifts because they were sticky to the fingers,stuck together, and sticking to the sides of the container. I didn't want to open the second one at that time; I knew I would find the same thing just by looking at the candy stuck to the sides of the container, so I decided to wait and open it later.

ADDITION: When I finely open the second container, I was right, it was the same as the last one. My grand-kids and I have had allot more candy in the last few months, far more than any of us needed. Of course we haven't finished all 40 lbs yet, but I assume we will in another month or so, I hate to let things go to waste, and because this candy is damp, even with all of the SUGAR in it, I worry about mold or bacteria growing if it is not eaten, sooner rather than later. I found that if I left it in the big container, the stickiness only got worse once it was opened. It seems that each time you opened the container the candy drew more moisture form the air. (If you buy this and it is sticky or starts to become sticky, try storing the candy in smaller plastic containers and pop the plastic lid to remove any excess air form inside. I also put a small piece of tin foil in the center on top, and on the tin foil I placed a cracker to help pull the moisture from the candy. It worked for me.)

Anyway, with all of the above, I thought I might order another (again as a gift) despite the last experience that I had with the two that I ordered. (The first that I had ordered was fine.) However, I noted a jump in price of $4.00 and I noted (at least at this visit to the site) that it cost more to subscribe than to order just once. I sent a "note" to the company, asking why it cost more to subscribe than to buy it once. I hope they fix this issue for the better by lowering the subscription price,rather than raising the one time price. Anyway, at this time, I prefer to look for a lower price elsewhere, rather than order here and now. I seem to remember seeing elsewhere for pennies more than what I paid the last time I bought these.

I like Amazon so I always come here first when I am ready to buy something, but after seeing the price, I think I will go back and look for that other site, I noticed a few weeks ago. I am on a very limited budget, and every penny counts.

FYI: Some of the reasons I like Amazon is when something is wrong with my order, or a third party order, they go out of the way to fix it or help to resolve it with another party, whether it be a shipping issue, damage, a wrong order... Their prices are comparable with other online sites. Finally, they don't use or require PAYPAL as a method of payment ONLY.

EDIT: When I started buying this the were $19 and change, the last time $20 and change, NOW they are over $26 this is far to much, I will no longer be buying these here.

I have noted an increase in cost (a large increase) of Amazon items and their 3rd party sellers. I NO longer use Amazon as my primary shopping site, which is sad because I really like their customer service. (NOT so much the service of the 3rd party sellers, which I have found to be rude and dismissive in MOST CASES, NOT ALL.) But the raise in the product cost, makes me rethink each item and before I buy, I look elsewhere online, before I will purchase from them, it sad but ture.

I was worried about ordering candy online mostly because it's hot now here in southern AZ. A good delivery service brought mine right to my apt door. The big container was sealed and all the jelly beans were fresh and tasted good. My first time ordering this. All good. Thanks Amazon prime.
